Passing Variables to a frameset

I want to link from an html page to a frameset that has a nav bar in a top frame and a dynamic PHP page in the main frame( I am using frames because I want the viewer to have the nav bar accesible at all times while scrolling through the products. I am sending a variable via a link off of the html page as so: <a href="frameset.php?ID=player>DivX Players</a>. The nav bar (top frame) is loading, but the main frame comes up blank as if the variable has not been passed. The PHP code in the requested page works when called up by itself ,but not as part of a frameset. What do I need to do to send a variable and have it go through a frameset into a frame source?

Your frameset.php page should output a frame src for the main frame including the ID variable there as well. You essentially need to pass the variable twice -- from your link to the frameset, from the frameset to the frame.

No, there's no need for that. If you tried it, you'd find out that the variable is $_GET not $_get, and that you don't access arrays using parentheses, so the whole thing would die with an error anyway.
